Does anyone know if FFG is planning to release the unpainted minis?

If not, does anyone know where they can be purchased?

Looking to do some repainting, and I really don't want to buy a whole new boxed set.

Sabot

i know some box sets were done and i did see some on flea bay, probably your best place to look, being in the uk, they would have stung me too much for postage when i saw them

You can still get them (and the Novogorod set as well) from TOY....

i dont think you can, they are no longer trading, ffg have it all now

ewwww

unpainted.

Hey, some us are 40K refugees who still crave the addiction that is minis painting! =D

Did if we really nice please maybe ffg send us few figures. I agree that for some of us that painted SOME (in my case was a whole Army of Tyranids and SM) figures in life, Painting Tannhauser Minis would be great!

yes please ... gonna repaint them anyway. But if they release the unpainted packs ToY had, i'd buy them, and two of each to have the troopers be different, if they dont make alternative poses ( which would REALLY be great ) And an unpainted expansion figures pack...but that's probably asking WAY to much & wishful thinking, seeing how we apparently can't get rules printed or any news at all since December

For the troopers, Take On You had planned to release a Troop with the same sculpt but an alternate paint scheme and new Tokens.

Is there a use for extra models of the same type? I only have the base game.

I dont see why repainting them would be a problem, you could just give them a white base coat then paint them how ever you would like to, but I feel like im just preaching to the choir.

There is no need to make white base over the old paint - the paint layer will be too thick - I painted over the old paint without white base - looks good, as for me (I painted all miniatures from Tannhauser, Novgorod and Single Packs).

Awesome, I didnt think about that, I think it'd be cool if they sold the minitures unpainted just for that specific reason, and made of metal, but knowing the price of everything would cost an arm and a leg

I can see the appeal of unpainted minis for custom work. Personally I have far too many minis to paint as it is, and that's only considering the unfinished projects...

I have alot of unpainted minis as well, but the feeling you get when those characters look exactly the way you want them is amazing. There is nothing better than being able to personally customize your game.
